over a good evening chief you just joined us this is r.t. international you're watching around the for the top stories of the last seven days with me kevin owen here in moscow tonight thanks for being with us well first on the big news story the world is wide eyed wasn't it this week over those dramatic images that came in from central russia a plunging meteor exploded with a blinding flash before crashing in the urals early on friday just take a look at those pictures amazing stuff scary too of course and if you were in the path of that look at that bright light some people actually thought a nuclear bomb had gone off i can tell you some of the reports we were getting in early reports that it is people absolutely frightened somebody in her office near the window blows in they just don't really know what's happened we were talking to a witness in iran they said they kind of felt the shock wave almost in their internal organs the rumble the pressure was so much well looking back at this big story of the week then here's a gold piece going off. it

was like a scene from a scythe or a movie but with one exception it was real first the brilliant flash was big bright like he was shining across the sky you know blinding brighter than the sun the skies were lit up by a meteor streaking across the skies above the russian city of chile i've been over one thousand kilometers east of moscow where not just unusual glare on the floor i thought of all lines from a car then we went to the window and saw this strange cloud and then. and then this . would turn around and the wall was a gun like someone had moved it this use of massive explosions rocked the entire city damaging buildings and shattering windows. nasa said the explosive force of the media were breaking up was the equivalent of

two one to hear oshima bombs over twelve hundred people were injured including over two hundred children mostly from pieces of shattered glass. windows just exploded i saw one girl he had and a growing his hand we were told to quickly put our clothes us on and run out so many were able to film the other three phenomenon later flooding the web with footage as rumors spread of what it might have been a stricken airplane a satellite that fell out of orbit even the beginning of the end of the world would mrs reported seeing fragments of the crashing all across the region. i saw a small can there was a weird smell but it was not a fire so i think it's a piece of meteorite and it's small during them no however most of the sighting started out to be ordinary peed bug fires because so far officials have not found any fragments of the media or for now the immediate priority. he's to look after the injured and repair the damage to buildings especially the broken windows in

schools and residential areas as sam bridger's a mate dropped below minus fifteen celsius it's going to take time to clear everything else but for now science like this collapsed factory or a cleary moyar no matter how advanced technology gets nowadays often when it comes soon each are we can only watch helplessly and hope for the best. when you get over them all you just never know it's going to have an r.t.c. go piskun off there will of course as it is this happened at the pictures that were being flushed around the web almost instantly so much chatter as you'd expect going on about it lizzie france's across all that for us lindsay. a lot has been hitting the internet in recent days regarding the media or some from the merely factual all the way to the out right out rageous such as president putin writing the power of the rock all the way to earth i am getting updates on this right now in the newsroom we'll bring you the very latest in the studio just a couple of minutes good stuff. of course one startling alarming to all who says

that nobody actually saw it coming we always think we've got the telescopes trained on the heavens part of this rock was too small with insight into the earth is really good you may wonder why the scientists haven't seen this thing coming after all it was quite a doozy was really large as a matter of fact buzz at the same time the scientists are saying that there's way too many things flying out there in outer space and although this one was a big one they can't really keep track of everything that's coming but seriously this thing weighed more than ten thousand tons when it was approaching earth so the scientists say of course when it entered the atmosphere it mindblowing the speed of thirty kilometers per second that's really really fast when it entered the atmosphere it broke into several pieces and those went scattering all over the region this is the region that we're actually concerned with but it actually went all around the place we're only going with what the scientists and the emergency

ministries are saying and they're saying that this icy pits is not anything for is not something for ice fishing as a matter of fact this is a crater where the fragment one of the fragments has fallen but again they haven't found any fragments of the meteor there so i guess we only have to take their word for it of course we have to understand that this actually has been the biggest thing to hit this planet in over a century or so this scientists believe the last time something like this happened was in one thousand nine hundred eighty when the door crash landed somewhere in siberia destroying thousands of square kilometers of forest causing acid rain. to fall causing me to and plants and forests but it's also one of the biggest mysteries in the universe because nobody has ever found a crater from the meteor or know no fragments of the meteor have been found so this is kind of a big mystery that a lot of people are trying to cash in on this the even even today hundred years later but back to reality back to present day of region of course there has been

plenty of damage you have seen the pictures of the damage to plants and buildings but actually a lot of people are saying it could have been a lot worse if history is any indication there are telescopes network of. mass of us that was cosmos and work your european space agency others that are out there trying to detect the drug and the stewards but on the sleeve there's a lot of there's hundreds of thousands and their biggest focus is on the really large ones ones that are hundreds of meters in diameter oaklawn. could actually you know do two into the dinosaurs and another thing to have been screeching is actually something of a nuclear hotspot in russia in fact during the soviet era this was the place for nuclear research so it has at least seven nuclear facilities that are located in the region and a lot of people are saying that if at least one of them was hit with one of the

fragments from an asteroid we would have been dealing with complications infinitely worse than we're having on our hands right now we would be dealing with a nuclear disaster but thankfully that did not happen and although this entire event was rather frightening and quite damaging still things could have been a lot worse and it's a good thing that everything turned out the way it did. reporting there was a big sort of this meteor blast went viral because with lindsay from suggest a minute or two to see exactly what came in i was going say it's a little when the blows nobody any good there's always somebody willing to cash it in there for and they'll say some even troy selling what they claim to fragments of the crush of media the most expensive was on offer i don't know whether anyone took it up was an offer for ten thousand dollars of course if it was going to be an interest and so you'd have no way of setting out a way to see if it was tested it was actually a right for me to you could just been something for somebody. so i think you'd be

very avoids to part with your money for the lives of frauds but was one bizarre. do you know did anyone actually spend ten thousand dollars on you know i have no idea but i would really like to see that sample of rock they spent that kind of money what else have you got for this is pictures just yes the twitter sphere is blowing up the internet is just chock full of funny outrageous just odd things people are posting with maybe a little too much time on their hands you know all this video is great and wonderful but then you hit twitter and you see posts like this tanks are passing down the streets citizens are urged to get out of the shelters lunchbox handouts pearlman arranged only thing and you realized ok this is not really happening this is not just the same guy sits there and starts tweeting about what's happening in town saying we're being given chemical protection and gas masks the city is almost entirely evacuated we're setting up barricades and in islam you know we're joking about the power of these things i mean it was a frightening event if you didn't know what was happening at the time if you're reading this it could spread it would startle you everyone else why is he why does

it have so much time to tweet about all of this happening and then i you got you got they did nearly funny stuff to the citizens of chile i've been scar already checking to see which superpowers they have god knows that you know the radiation from the explosion may have caused them to have extra beer and so when tomorrow when you come to our local weather reports it's negative seventeen degrees celsius in chelyabinsk there's wind and a slight meteor but let's move on. yeah but richard when you say really was the argot i think so ok and then you know who is the guy who you know it's that one liner that happens around valentine's day pluck a star from the sky who is that you know what who promised to pick a star from the sky on valentine's day yes i'm going to town that in a team of course then you've got people from all over you know english speaking countries tweeting about breaking news baby found in the middle of the media right crash that he's miraculously on harms wrapped in what seems to be a red cape and allusion to superman if you if you can that i got mad when i saw

that but that was nice and then of course you got the photoshop action of angry birds flying in on the tail of the media are coming and then you get the rush or bruce willis popular boy are going around the world dinosaurs this stuff killed my brother please don't laugh. dollars years ago yes you never know you got to have a man don't know what's going to just north kick in the rocket ride over there russia from the united states field karate hero because you know you have to go ask where these friends are not well and then of course you couldn't get out of our of the rock down to the crash site as he does you know as you do i think i do that's nice excellent lots of photos of us about well also we've got one as well a football fan was over in britain for a couple of this one football for speculating over that much for three rushes as an evening glimpse there. just a day before he said it could be read snow for a meteor or a meteor shower would come down and hey what did he know that we didn't when i saw

this i was thinking you know what i want to know when the red snow is. you play spread so much or a loser this will let you get on with it thank you very much for coming to see a synonym for those who go to the course if you want to find more about that huge news event in the week or must take pictures online r.t. dot com just a click away. more big stories that we now and the volatile situation in bahrain has been exacerbated by the latest clashes between anti-government protesters and security forces this weekend scores were reportedly injured when riot police used tear gas and stun grenades against demonstrators throwing stones and petrol bombs violence broke out when the protesters tried to make their way to the funeral of the teenager who was allegedly killed by security forces really this week during a rally marking two years of the anti-government uprising that incident in the term all that followed it is jeff put arms talks in between the sunni dominated

government and the mostly shiite opposition which you know still yet to say there are no signs of progress or pending reforms. we're looking at two years in which we've seen no reform we've seen nothing change i mean we started this uprising two years ago and on that day the first martyr of the uprising was killed and now two years later on the same day fourteen february another teenager has been killed and this really shows and displayed the lack of reform continuous human rights abuses the continuous repression taking place on the streets of bahrain it's good that dialogue has come back on the agenda and there is discussions happening but it seems that this latest latest escalation of the security against the people is going to possibly put dine in jeopardy within the ruling family i think of course there are those who simply want to please the international community to say look we're having this dialogue and there is not

a great thing was continuing the violations on the street. libya is also marking the second anniversary of its government uprising putting security forces on high alert later this week take a look at why the ousting of. brought no radical change for the better for the country but a lot more coming your way right after this very quick break reassure you. will the. audience technology innovation all the least of elements from around russia we've. covered. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you. are welcome to the big picture.

more news today. again flared up. these are the images and seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporations are today. holders closed international flights suspended security forces on high alert that is how libya is marking two years since the beginning of the uprising that resulted in that bloody civil conflict foreign intervention and the toppling of the longtime leader moammar gadhafi that is innocent now explains why any celebrations that are

being overshadowed by desperation with the current government and fears of more unrest. from our graphic has lost legitimacy to lead and he must leave the shoot at their feet what is impossible to imagine a future for libya with get daffy still in power he must go. well gadhafi is long gone and we don't need to imagine but can take a close look the revolt which began in benghazi was followed by an eight month nato bombing campaign costing thousands of lives and left libya torn apart drowning in conflict and suffocating in stagnation still rich in oil libya economically is a mess despite rampant unemployment and an overwhelming housing crisis huge construction projects are on hold and violence reigns if you look at the country

before the bombardment and the invasion by nato and nato supported militias. the country now you can clearly see that the country is suffering from the front problems the not exist before the country's infrastructure has been destroyed and you have militias running. free on the streets attacking people killing people and doing whatever they want so yes a lot has changed but not for the better amnesty international describes tribalism post gadhafi as armed militias acting completely out of control hundreds of them across the country arresting people without warrant detaining them incommunicado and torturing them all these points gadhafi was accused of by the rebels and the west now the watchdog says this is happening while the government is unwilling or

unable to rein in the militias and another problem is the south in december libya closed off its borders without jiri niger tat in sudan citing a deterioration of security and declared the region a military zone well recently a video has emerged of representatives of the south libyan tribes declaring independence for the region the federation of south libya they claim the government has failed to secure the inside of the country and borders and this is the result of stalled economic activity and discontinue a. and other essential infrastructure projects that have been driven by international partners well it's still not clear how that news is being taken in tripoli but it can't bode well for any chance of stability and finally who is reaping the fruits of this revolution well some analysts say it's an economic powerhouse putting lots of money into the region that the west just doesn't have while at the same time benefiting from their military efforts it's china the

chinese have no boots on the ground they have no more abuse there they're basically getting a free ride from the military. whereas countries like crouch so two years after the revolution for libya the only certainty is still gadhafi is gone. and we invite you to check out our web site for more analysis of the consequences of the nato regime change in libya a lot more to. come. korea's for portably preparing for more atomic test despite the widespread international fieri after a detonator the third nuclear device in the week on tuesday pyongyang described the move as an effort to shore up its national security and safeguard its sovereignty against what it called quote rages u.s. hostility and quote the test prompted warnings though from washington and its allies of more sanctions looming for the communist state as your base independent you said it james corbett says the timing of this latest one couldn't have been worse. to really fall into

a lot of diplomatic pressure on china to use its leverage with north korea and i imagine that officials in beijing must have known that this this was coming probably in the next few days and it certainly is it couldn't have happened at a worse time internationally speaking it's the lunar new year in china so basically the entire country is on holiday and in the u.s. you there is no confirmed secretary of defense or central intelligence director so it's a very interesting. into that the wildcard of xi jinping we don't know much about who or how he's going to lead and the fact that kim jong un is a relatively new leader as well you also have the new army government in japan and there's a lot of wildcards in this mix to see how this is going to shake out but i think on the question of china specifically if they have a lot of pressure that they can put on north korea stories hitting the headlines right now a series of car bomb blasts in baghdad or killed at least twenty eight left over one hundred injured explosions happened in mainly shiite areas of the iraqi capital
